Just as courtroom experience doesn’t turn a general practitioner into a medical specialist\, exposure to litigation doesn’t turn a general accountant into a forensic one. Forensic accounting is a specialisation in its own right — with its own body of knowledge\, investigative methods\, evidential standards\, and professional architecture. \nIn this session\, we’ll unpack: \nThe core distinction — general accounting asks “are these transactions correctly recorded and reported?” Forensic accounting asks why the transaction happened\, who authorised it\, who benefited\, and whether the conclusion can survive legal scrutiny. \nFollowing the money — using a hypothetical R10 million payment\, we’ll trace the full forensic pathway: beneficial ownership\, authorisation\, connected parties\, and ultimate beneficiaries. \nThe “unknown unknowns” — the competencies a skilled accountant may simply never have been trained in: evidential procedure\, fraud examination methodology\, interviewing\, digital forensics\, and evidence preservation. \nSame numbers\, different conclusions — real-world scenarios (director payments\, redirected remuneration\, property purchases\, unexplained transactions) showing how forensic and non-forensic reviews of identical figures can reach entirely different conclusions. \nBeyond fraud — forensic accounting’s role in commercial disputes\, shareholder and matrimonial matters\, insurance claims\, damages quantification\, and regulatory investigations. \nThe evidence problem — the gap between a tidy reconciliation and a conclusion that can withstand cross-examination. \nDigital evidence — why the modern forensic accountant investigates the transaction and the digital ecosystem around it. \nThe expert witness question — what actually qualifies someone to give forensic opinion evidence\, beyond simply having appeared in court before. \nThe closing proposition: the question isn’t whether someone is a good accountant — it’s whether they’re qualified and experienced for the specific forensic question you’re asking them to answer. \nWhether you’re a legal practitioner briefing an expert\, a business leader assessing risk\, or an accountant considering the forensic specialisation\, this session will sharpen how you tell the difference — before it costs you. \nRegister now to secure your spot on MS Teams. \n \n Register Here URL:https://www.icfp.co.za/event/not-all-accountants-are-forensic-accountants/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Development sessions END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20261015T090000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20261015T120000 DTSTAMP:20260928T120829Z CREATED:20260928T115853Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260928T120829Z UID:17863-1792054800-1792065600@www.icfp.co.za SUMMARY:ICFP Central Region Breakfast Event DESCRIPTION:ICFP Central Region: Bloemfontein Breakfast Event\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A Morning of Insight\, Connection & ConversationExploring the evolving landscape of Digital & IT in South Africa \nVenue: Airborne\, Emoya EstateTime: 09:00 – 12:003 CPD Hours \nICFP Members attend FREEMembers are welcome to invite guests at R250 per person. \nSpeaker: Prof. Danny Myburgh \nPlease RSVP by 30 Septemeber 2026 \n gerda@peyperformensics.co.za URL:https://www.icfp.co.za/event/icfp-central-region-breakfast-event/ LOCATION:Airborne\, Emoya Estate\, 7 Frans Kleynhans Ave\, Groenvlei\, Bloemfontein\, 9301\, Airborne\, Emoya Estate\, 7 Frans Kleynhans Ave\, Groenvlei\, Bloemfontein\, 9301\, Bloemfontein\, Free State\, 9301\, South Africa CATEGORIES:Development sessions ORGANIZER;CN="gerda@peyperforensics.co za":MAILTO:gerda@peyperforensics.co za END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20260416T140000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20260416T160000 DTSTAMP:20260401T111408Z CREATED:20260302T084202Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260401T111408Z UID:16619-1776348000-1776355200@www.icfp.co.za SUMMARY:Shifting Paradigms: Cultivating a Proactive Culture DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.icfp.co.za/event/shifting-paradigms-cultivating-a-proactive-culture/ LOCATION:Private: Sanlam Head Office\, 2 Strand Road\, Bellville\, South Africa CATEGORIES:Development sessions END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20260227T090000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20260227T120000 DTSTAMP:20260216T140119Z CREATED:20260216T140006Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260216T140119Z UID:16594-1772182800-1772193600@www.icfp.co.za SUMMARY:Protecting the Guardians 27 February 2026 DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.icfp.co.za/event/protecting-the-guardians-27-february-2026/ LOCATION:Free webinar CATEGORIES:Development sessions END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20260226T100000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20260226T113000 DTSTAMP:20260121T090039Z CREATED:20260121T085401Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260121T090039Z UID:16366-1772100000-1772105400@www.icfp.co.za SUMMARY:Commissioner of Oaths: Legal Requirements & Best Practices for (FP)SA's DESCRIPTION:Only ICFP members holding the professional designation (FP)SA are eligible to register for the webinar. \nAs an (FP)SA\, you hold the authority to serve as a Commissioner of Oaths.
